“Fine,” she said

“You don’t have to leave,” he said as she turned her back “We’re both adults I’ve seen you naked before and we both know I like what I see very much”

Her cheeks were on fire, but rather than leave the roo for a second before pulling her bikini bottoms up

“I’ve never worn a bikini,” she said, quickly securing the top in place

After stepping toward the water, she sat on the edge, wrapping her arms around her waist She felt exposed He’d seen her naked, but that didn’t take away her nerves He’d probably seen hundreds of women, thousands They threw themselves at him

Caleb glided through the water, going to her His hands went to her ass She let out a squeal as he moved her into the pool As she wrapped her arms around his neck, he chuckled

“You don’t have to be afraid,” he said

“I’m not”

She circled his waist with her legs

“Now this has possibilities” Heagainst her core

While she stared up into his eyes, it was on the tip of her tongue to beg him, but he moved her away

“There will be time for that soon,” he said “I want you to lie flat”

“Caleb, I don’t—”

“Come on, trust me”

“I hate you”

“We’ve already established you don’t Nohat is there to be afraid of in the water?”

“Sharks”

He laughed “There’s no sharks It’s just me, you, and the water”

“The ocean is full of sharks They don’t like that it’s just you and me”

“It’s a good thing I haven’t thrown you in the ocean then”

She sighed

“Co stubborn”

“Fine Fine Drowning”

“Very good, but you won’t drown because I’ to teach you how to handle the water”

Grace didn’t expect Caleb to be a good teacher, but da his time Each time she nearly dropped beneath the surface, he was there to capture her Hewith her head

The time ticked on by, and after three hours, Caleb called a break One of his ot a drink of soda while it looked like he had a coffee

“I’m not a child,” she said “I can drink coffee”

“But you rarely do”

“How did you find all this information about me?” she asked
